The players reached their 100th hand of four-handed play. Jerry Yang continued to bleed chips. At one point, he held 57% of the total chips in play. He slipped to 33%. Yang has won 63 total pots. However, the pots he has won have been small when compared to the few pots that he lost which happened to be some of the bigger pots of the final table. He is still the chipleader. Raymond Rahme is closing in on Jerry Yang. He only trails Yang by 11 million.

Meanwhile, the Russian has been silent. Just when it appeared he had momentum an hour or so ago, he went card dead. Alex Kravchenko's been losing blinds and antes and has slipped into last place as the short stack.
